Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action in spite of difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and challenges where avoidance has become a barrier to living a valued life.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be especially useful for addressing abandonment concerns, attachment issues, and relationship challenges.

Christine Hamby works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Figuring out the right therapeutic path is part of the process, and she will guide clients in testing methods and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter interactions can happen via live chat or text-based messaging. This range of options helps people access support around work, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic constraints while maintaining continuity of care with their therapist.
